Wildflower Walk: Martin County

Join the Daviess-Martin CISMA (Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area) on a free wildflower walk near the Bluffs of Beaver Bend nature preserve. Learn to identify the wide variety of rare native plants growing at the base of the bluffs, as well as the invasive garlic mustard that threatens them.

Directions: The Bluffs are located south of Shoals. To get there turn south from Highway 50 at the east end of the White River bridge, onto Water Street in downtown Shoals. Stay on this road for exactly one mile, passing the fire station and crossing the bridge over Beaver Creek. Stop immediately and park at Spout Springs. We will walk into the preserve from there. No special equipment will be needed, the roadway follows closely along the bluffs, so this walk will be accessible for all abilities.
